Lovage— (Levisticum officinalis) Perennial. 
A tall rather coarse growing herb, close¬ 
ly related to celery. We like the celery¬ 
like flavor of the leaves, which have a 
secondary nutty flavor, in cottage cheese 
and green salads. The seeds are some¬ 
times used in cooking, and the stems are 
blanched and cooked as a vegetable.

Seeds, 10c per pkt. 
Marigold, Pot —{Calendula officinalis) This

nary herb, the flowers being used to give 
a rich color and added flavor to stews and 
soups. Annual. Plants, each 10c; 12 for 
50c. Seeds 10c per pkt.

joram. Plants, each 20c; $2.00 per doz. 
Cretan Dittany —(Origanum dictamnus). 
This lovely tender perennial relative of 
the Marjorams is still quite rare in this 
country. A holy plant of the ancient 
Greeks, the fragrant mauve flowers above 
rounded wooly leaves are an attractive 
addition to the herb garden. Strong

delicate mint'"’ flavor is desired. Each 25c;
